welcome you beautiful thing, to thrive collective.

Where we blended a mindset, wellness + lifestyle blog with a professional database.

It’s purpose?

To help women - like you! - to be informed and empowered with information and knowledge and to have access on a more personal level to incredible professionals… all to help you thrive in every moment of your life.

When you think about your life…

+ Are you truly, honestly in love with your life?+ Do you wake up in the morning full of energy and drive for the day?+ Is your every day life one that inspires and motivates you?+ Are you surrounded by people that light you up and who support, love and encourage you?

If you answered no - or even sort of - to any of those questions…

Then I want you to know that you’re in the best place you can be.

Everything you find here has been created (with love!) to help you fall in love with your life, to wake up (and continue through your day) full of energy and motivation and drive, to be inspired by the life you’ve created for yourself and to encourage you to surround yourself with people that genuinely want to see you supported, loved and encouraged.

So get ready… it’s time to start living the most incredible life you could dream of.

I couldn’t say I was in love with my life.

For a loooong time.

Sure, there were parts I loved - my family, my boyfriend, the opportunities I had - but I wasn’t truly living the life I dreamed of.

Hey there honey, it makes me SO happy to see you here! My name is Courtenay - but everyone calls me Court - McCulloch, and I am the founder of Thrive Collective.

For years I felt lonely and lost. Doubting myself and my worth. Failing to love or believe in myself.

I was stuck in a rut that I just couldn’t find my way out of. I craved friendships that lit me up, practices that made me feel glowing and activities that filled me with happiness.

Finally, after years of research, education and trial-and-errors in my own life, I found myself out of that rut and running towards energy, happiness and a serious zest for life.

As I looked around me, I noticed almost all the women in my life experienced unhappiness and unworthiness in their own lives.

The worst part? They thought it was normal to feel this way, and that this is what life was.

And so, I started Thrive Collective. And I had one dream:

That all women start living a life where they thrive in every moment.

Thrive Collective is a collective of women dedicated to helping you move past self-doubt, fear and comparisonitis so you can chase the life you want. One where you feel happy, loved, accepted, peaceful, confident, courageous, healthy, strong... anything you’ve been dreaming of.

The ultimate self-care inspiration guide

Don’t even get Thrive founder, Court, started on the importance of self care…

Because society is now a ‘go-go-go’ kinda place, we spend so much time trying to get as much done as we can. The result? Chronic stress, fatigue and prolonged time spent minimising our body’s ability to restore and re-energise. But committing to time where we consciously relax helps our bodies to:

Need life inspiration…?

The gorgeous gals over at Darling Buds of Play asked me to help write about how practising gratitude can help turn the tide on unhelpful thoughts to celebrate the release of their (free!) Week of Gratitude resource… so of course I said yes! I hope this piece inspires you to bring a little gratitude into every day…

Before I sat in front of the room full of women at the first 'Space for Your Best Self' workshop Debra (my ego) was in FULL FORCE! She whispered her doubts and fears at me in the hope that she would convince me to step back, cancel and spare myself from possible embarrassment and failure…

Let’s be honest here, to tell you to follow #bodypositivity and start loving your curves when you can’t even remember the last time you felt confident about your body, is just not realistic. It’s going to take time…

Grab a pair of yellow sunglasses and put them on. All of a sudden the world around you is as bright as a sunflower. Take them off and instead put on a pair of blue sunglasses. Now all of the world is periwinkle…

My favourite thing about the holiday season is the moment when you're surrounded by friends and family, and you just have a moment of such content. I have THE most beautiful family, and while they aren't with us anymore, my grandparents made sure that Christmas was always special…

You can’t think your way into it and there is no secret how-to book to life that you are missing. There are 27 ways to fake it ‘til you make it, but you are craving more than that. The confidence you are seeking is a feeling that you want to embrace wholeheartedly…

Your body is a wonderfully complex machine, but it is also a pretty good communicator if you take the time to listen. Every day, your body is sending you signals and messages, from goose bumps to tell you to put a jumper on to bloating, acne, and food cravings - yes, those are all messages from your body…

If you've felt any of the following,you're in the right place:

Confused

You have moments where you wonder what the heck you are doing with your life.

You feel pressure of other people’s judgements or opinions of what they think is best.

You judge yourself for not being where you ‘should’ be.

Self doubt

You have moments of clarity and confidence about changing your life (or parts of your life) but this is often followed by doubtful thoughts about yourself, your desires, abilities, relationships, finances…

You feel like you know what you want, but you haven’t found the confidence to share it with the world.

You often feel like you’re not capable or worthy of achieving what you want.

Comparisonitis

You struggle to see your own worth when you look at someone else’s… you just aren’t as beautiful, smart, talented, insert every other comparison here.

You convince yourself that you are overweight, weak, unhealthy, ugly and beyond all... not worthy or good enough.

You look at others around you and feel like an imposter… they can be successful, popular, happy… but what gives you the right?

judged

You judge yourself for not being good/beautiful/talented/smart/fit enough and for not having achieved more.

You feel like others are judging you for the choices you make, the person you are and the dreams that you have.

You feel FOMO (fear of missing out) and the overwhelming feeling that if you actively chase your dreams and change your life… your surroundings and relationships might change too.

Helpless & frustrated

You feel stuck and in a rut… there’s a woman you dream of being, but you don’t know how to get there.

You feel like everything you do helps you take one step forward… but then somehow you end up being three steps backward.

You are not sure how to move through current or past hurts, which leaves you feeling trapped, weak, upset and that you are going around in circles
